We are a passionate, dedicated team committed to protecting Torbay’s natural environment. Guided by a board of trustees, supported by a strong volunteer network, and backed by a growing community of local supporters, we work together to preserve and enhance Torbay’s unique coast and countryside.

Our team

While most of our team is based at Occombe Farm, we also have rangers and gardeners working on the ground at Berry Head National Nature Reserve and Cockington Country Park. We’re a small but dedicated team delivering work across a wide range of areas, including:

  • Land management and conservation
  • Farming and countryside contracting
  • Site maintenance
  • Engagement and events
  • Hospitality

Together, we work to protect and care for Torbay’s coast and countryside for the benefit of people, wildlife, and future generations.

Volunteers

Volunteers are vital to the work of Torbay Coast & Countryside Trust—we simply couldn’t protect and maintain Torbay’s green spaces without them.

There are a variety of rewarding volunteer opportunities available, whether you’re interested in conservation, gardening, visitor engagement, events, or outdoor maintenance. Join us!
